Application Fixings

Linear Heat Detection Cable LHDC

General guidelines for installation of
LHDC:
The below drawing represents various clips and
fixings that can be used in a typical cable tunnel.
Patol supply a full range as shown over the page.
The correct size and type of cable gland must
be used on all junction box etc.
Due to the high impedance of the Resettable
(Analogue) system, all connections at EOL, JB
and interposing cable must be protected with
silicone grease.
LHDC should be installed so that it is not
severely compressed and is not in contact with
sharp objects that may damage the outer
sheath.
LHDC minimum bend radius is 10mm
(Analogue) & 50mm (Digital)
LHDC must not be tensioned between supports
especially at changes of direction.
Neoprene sleeves should always be used in
conjunction with cable ties.
The distance between supports shall be
between 0.6m and 1.2m depending upon
available fixing positions.
The routing of LHDC shall be chosen to avoid
contact or close proximity with any local sources
of heat e.g. light fixings, steam pipes etc.
The minimum number of joints should be made
in any zone and these connections should be
with the recommended Patol junction box and
cable glands.
LHDC should be fixed using approved clips and
brackets.
In accordance with BS5389 pt1 2002, LHDC
should be spaced no more than 5.3m away from
any zone boundary or wall; and no more than
10.6m between adjacent runs.
Additionally LHDC should be installed such that
it is between 25mm and 150mm from the ceiling.

* The above general recommendations are for guidance

only, there may be conditions at site or client requirements
where some of the above criteria need to be varied.
